Back in the Saddle

After a two week hiatus, I'm going to be riding my bike to work again. I had to replace both wheels. The front one I replaced immediately after the crash, but the back-wheel I didn't realize was also bent.
Then, after riding it to work the first time after the crash, I felt more resistance than I expected. Turns out, my back wheel was rubbing against my brakes the entire ride.

I just bought the new wheel on Saturday, replaced it on Sunday, and today used the tool from the kit Mia got me for my birthday to release a little tension from my back brakes.

Everything appears to be in working order now and I'm going to ride back in this morning and see if I'm still in shape enough to make the full trip. I have to admit, that since I haven't been biking, I've also let my diet slip a little. I'm still not drinking soda but I have been eating more junk. Well, that will have to change again.
